A Rebound Bringing the Stock Back to Its 20-Day Moving Average
The mining group Imerys recovers some of the ground lost during the previous session. At €22.26, the stock price returns to its 20-day moving average (€22.22) and closely aligns with it, showing a slight positive deviation of 0.18%. The 50-day moving average at €21.90 is now below the price, while the 200-day moving average remains at €22.90, which is 2.79% above the current level. The RSI at 46 remains neutral, indicating no particular tension. The Bollinger Bands place the stock midway between the lower band (€21.41) and the upper band (€23.02). The identified resistance at €22.90 coincides with the 200-day moving average, forming a coherent technical zone above the current price. Over the last twelve months, the stock still shows a decline of 26.82%.

Imerys is exposed to the construction cycle, a segment that remains under pressure in Europe. The construction climate in France is measured at -18.0 in April 2026 according to Eurostat, compared to -3.7 for the entire European Union and -12.3 in Germany. The sector's output has fallen by 3.5% year-on-year in France and by 1.7% in the Eurozone. French order books are at -33, and housing construction permits have decreased by 2.0% on a cumulative twelve-month basis. This situation weighs on the activity prospects of the group, whose industrial minerals supply the chemicals, ceramics, and construction materials industries. The next financial meeting is scheduled for July 29, 2026, with the publication of the semi-annual results for 2026.
